Just exactly what is 무거운 와인? A kind of wine with high alcohol content? Or a quantity of wine that weighs a lot?
I actually have zero idea what this sentence is supposed to mean lmao...
I think "heavy wine" is supposed to mean be the opposite of "light wine" so it's saying to watch out for the wine since it's really intense?? The given translation doesn't really make sense lol

Maybe you'd have to be a sommelier (wine-taster to me), but I'm getting that this means full-bodied wine. Apparently this means that the "rich, complex, well-rounded" taste lingers in your mouth for a long time. Indeed the opposite is light-bodied wine . . .
The English translation would be better as 'watch out for the heavy wine' instead of 'watch out with'
What does this mean? Is someone going to carry the wine and you're warning them that it's heavy?
I wrote beware which I thought a better translation. Does anyone else think that it should be an acceptable answer? In 4 months nobody has attempted to answer my question, how depressing!

Judging by the gloss for 조심하다 in Wiktionary (‘to be careful, beware, watch’), it should indeed be an acceptable answer.

"Be wary of the heavy wine!" Rejected 2021/04/27. I'm reporting that, dangit. "Beware of" seems strange to me, but so does "watch out for" or "be careful of", and "be careful with" means something slightly different. That is not to say they shouldn't be accepted, though. People do say that. 조심 means "caution" here, so "be cautious with" would be the most literal. Where has plain English gone? Wiktionary, you're generally better than that, let alone Duo . . .
Ok, am I the only one who just mixes up the english words? 'Cause I wrote "Watch out for the wine heavy!" -_- wow... Just wow me
